Taoist master wants to ascend

It's windy and snowy outside.

Li Yuan stood by the window, overlooking Huiyan Manor. The manor had three levels inside and outside, with a rockery landscape and bamboo forest. At this moment, many servants and maids were running around, preparing for the dragon and tiger banquet.

The wind and snow mixed with the smoke, and the sound of weapons clashing could be vaguely heard.

"Li...master, please go down!"

Li Yuan turned around, and standing at the door was an expressionless Yu Xuanji.

This beautiful girl from the Longhu Temple family couldn't help but twitch her lips at the moment. After not seeing her all night, this kid has actually changed his clothes?

It has a straight collar and a big placket, long sleeves with hidden hem, and the whole body is blue.

This is an extremely well-made robe.

"I have a niece who is a teacher."

Li Yuan adjusted his posture and nodded slightly, which made people who couldn't understand him feel unhappy, and he felt very refreshed.

He shook his robe slightly, feeling quite happy in his heart.

This Taoist robe was custom-made when he was in Zhelong Mansion, but he had never worn it before. After all, he was either forging iron or on the road.

"..."

His towering chest rose and fell, and Yu Xuanji turned around decisively, feeling speechless.

Now that I have changed my robe, will I have to shave my head next?

Li Yuan glanced back out the window and followed him downstairs.

call!

Downstairs in Huiyan, Gong Jiuchuan stood with his hands behind his back. In the snow in front of him, there were more than a dozen disciples of Longhu Temple standing.

These disciples are not very old, but all of them are full of energy and strong in body. Everyone is holding the best sharp blade and wearing inner armor.

"They are all elites!"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Longhu Temple stands at the top of a ridge, attracting all the prefectures and counties. There is no shortage of talented disciples in the sect, and there are no ordinary people who can go out.

The dozen or so people in this snowy field have all transformed into something impressive, especially the man and woman standing in front of them, carrying swords on their backs, even if the wind and snow don't touch them, they are probably already well connected.

Seeing him coming downstairs, all the disciples didn't look sideways. However, Li Yuan's sharp eyes could feel that these disciples were secretly sizing him up, with some surprise, some suspicion, and some faint hostility.

"Go ahead."

When Li Yuan went downstairs, Gong Jiuchuan had already given the order. With a wave of his hand, the dozen or so people dispersed and went to a simple wooden platform.

"Senior Brother Gong."

Li Yuan bowed his hands in salute. He really didn't know much about Gong Jiuchuan, but those who could get the magic weapon to recognize him as their master were definitely not just ordinary people.

Among the masters he has met so far, there are only three people who have recognized the master of the magic weapon. Needless to say, Yi Baixing's Lao Han, Wan Chuan Na is also a famous magic craftsman.

"……Um."

Seeing Li Yuan's brand new Taoist robe, Gong Jiuchuan's eyes twitched and he reluctantly responded:

"Li... Junior Brother Li, you are also invited to the banquet this time. Although you don't have to go through the barrier, you still have to show up according to the rules."

"That's what senior brother orders."

Li Yuan naturally had no objection.

"This Dragon and Tiger Banquet, there will be eighteen seats, nine outside and nine inside, to entertain the uninvited comrades in the world, so as not to let them get away in vain."

Gong Jiuchuan said.

Li Yuan nodded, most of the previous dragon and tiger banquets were the same.

As the leader of a group, Longhu Temple always behaves grandly. Not only does it hold several banquets, but each person who attends the banquet is given at least a small rejuvenating elixir of divine preservation.

A small return pill costs nine hundred taels, and the eighteen banquets inside and outside must have at least nearly a hundred people, which is ninety thousand taels of silver.

Li Yuan was a little stunned when he heard it before, until he learned that Longhu Temple is the number one "Alchemy Sect" in the world...

"This Dragon and Tiger Banquet will be divided into three banquets. What I mean..."

Gong Jiuchuan pointed to the eighteen wooden platforms in the wind and snow, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Guardian?"

Li Yuan is very clear about the process of the Dragon and Tiger Banquet. Only when the three levels are cleared can he enter the banquet.

"good."

Gong Jiuchuan glanced at the fish

Mysterious, the latter bowed slightly.

"Xuanji, Gu Yang, and Huahong guard the third level."

Li Yuan took a look and saw that "Gu Yang" and "Hua Hong" were the two young men and women who were already connected.

When Li Yuan looked over, the two people also happened to look over.

"Senior brother, what do you mean, let me also guard the third level?"

"Um."

Gong Jiuchuan raised his eyes and saw that someone had already broken through the outer courtyard. The man was holding a long sword in his arms and his breath was cold and sharp. It was Lin Dongping, Wuwu Sword.

"It's not slow."

Gong Jiuchuan took a look and then ordered: "Xuanji, go to the warehouse and get a long-handled heavy hammer. The weight should be appropriate. Six hundred pounds?"

In the last half of the sentence, he looked at Li Yuan.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Gong. It doesn't matter whether it's light or serious."

Li Yuan had no objection. With his current level of hammering skills, whether it was lighter or heavier would have no effect.

"yes."

Yu Xuanji responded, turned and left.

"Senior Brother Gong, is there anything special about guarding the gate?"

Li Yuan asked.

He has studied the Dragon and Tiger Banquet. As far as he knows, there have been similar tests in the previous Dragon and Tiger Banquets, but it is better to ask about the details.

He recommended himself to the sect and was unwilling to stand in the way of others. It was pointless and might offend others.

"Well, just click until then."

Gong Jiuchuan glanced at him: "Most of the people invited to the banquet are true disciples of various sects. You just have to save some face and get by. As for the others, I won't force my way in if I think about it."

Are you really just going through the motions?

Li Yuan was dumbfounded. He spent thousands of taels of silver for information about the Dragon and Tiger Banquet, and the other attendees would only spend more.

"It's just a banquet."

Gong Jiuchuan downplayed it. For him, this was just a banquet. Two more people or two less people actually didn't matter.

However, he frowned slightly and thought of the 80,000.

Traditionally, the Dragon and Tiger Banquet would not deliberately embarrass those invited to the banquet, but they would sort out one or two people. Previously, Yan Sanxing selected 80,000 yuan, but he didn't care much.

but now……

"A banquet."

Li Yuan chewed his words and couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

A dragon-tiger banquet stirred up half of Huizhou. Thousands of people from all walks of life flocked to it, and Dechang Mansion was bustling for a month or two in the middle of winter.

Following this banquet, some people even started gambling.

But in the eyes of the elders of Longhu Temple, a major event for the various sects is just an understatement of "a banquet"...

"Tsk."

Li Yuan put his hands into his sleeves.

The wind and snow were getting stronger. Gong Jiuchuan stood with his hands behind his hands. Feng Xue could not get close to him, but he could only watch the fighting on the wooden platforms from a distance.

He looked cold, Li Yuan
